steven, our prodigy, was asking me about what was happening out in the yard. an understandable question given the machete hacking and whatnot. so i told him that we are building a medical clinic and when people are sick they can come see a doctor or a nurse and get medicine. and the first question out of his brillant mind was, "can they come for free?"
at the age of nine he understands a great bit of the turmoil here in his country and has taken on the weight of some of that burden. praise God i was able to tell him, yes, steven for free!
thank you Lord God for building us a medical clinic that will be free for those who are poor, those who cannot afford it themselves!
i know it doesn't look like much but it will be an amazing blessing for so many people!

practice makes perfect

it was picture day here. not graduation day, like you may assume. while i was waiting for jimmy to come get me this morning i grabbed a couple of shots of our graduates! i know they're not top quality, but i was trying to stand out of the photographer's way!

fun on the farm
